¹ Yn ystod y cyfnod pan oedd y barnwyr yn llywodraethu, bu newyn yn y wlad, ac aeth dyn o Fethlehem Jwda gyda'i wraig a'i ddau fab i fyw dros dro yng ngwlad Moab.

¹And it came to pass in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.

² Elimelech oedd enw'r dyn, Naomi oedd enw ei wraig, a Mahlon a Chilion oedd enwau'r ddau fab. Effrateaid o Fethlehem Jwda oeddent, ac aethant i wlad Moab ac aros yno.

²And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.

³ Ond bu farw Elimelech, gu373?r Naomi, a gadawyd hi'n weddw gyda'i dau fab.

³And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.

⁴ Priododd y ddau � merched o Moab; Orpa oedd enw'r naill a Ruth oedd enw'r llall. Wedi iddynt fod yno tua deng mlynedd,

⁴And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelt there about ten years.

⁵ bu farw Mahlon a Chilion ill dau; a gadawyd y wraig yn amddifad o'i dau blentyn yn ogystal ag o'i gu373?r.

⁵And Mahlon and Chilion died both of them; and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband.

⁶ Penderfynodd hi a'i dwy ferch-yng-nghyfraith ddychwelyd o wlad Moab, oherwydd iddi glywed yno i'r ARGLWYDD ymweld �'i bobl a rhoi bwyd iddynt.

⁶Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that Jehovah had visited his people in giving them bread.

⁷ Gadawodd hi a'i dwy ferch-yng-nghyfraith y man lle'r oeddent, a chychwyn yn �l am wlad Jwda.

⁷And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.

⁸ Ac meddai Naomi wrth ei dwy ferch-yng-nghyfraith, "Ewch yn �l adref, bob un at ei mam, y ddwy ohonoch; a bydded yr ARGLWYDD mor garedig wrthych chwi ag y buoch chwi wrth y rhai a fu farw ac wrthyf finnau,

⁸And Naomi said unto her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each of you to her mother's house: Jehovah deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.

⁹ a rhoi i'r ddwy ohonoch orffwysfa mewn cartref gyda gu373?r." Yna fe'u cusanodd, a dechreuodd y ddwy wylo'n uchel,

⁹Jehovah grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.

¹⁰ a dweud wrthi, "Ond yr ydym ni am ddychwelyd gyda thi at dy bobl."

¹⁰And they said unto her, Nay, but we will return with thee unto thy people.

¹¹ Dywedodd Naomi, "Ewch adref, fy merched. Pam y dewch gyda mi? A oes gennyf fi ragor o feibion yn fy nghroth, iddynt ddod yn wu375?r i chwi?

¹¹And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

¹² Ewch yn �l, fy merched, oherwydd yr wyf fi'n rhy hen i gael gu373?r. Pe bawn i'n dweud bod gennyf obaith cael gu373?r heno, ac yna geni plant,

¹²Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should even have a husband to-night, and should also bear sons;

¹³ a fyddech chwi'n disgwyl nes iddynt dyfu? A fyddech yn ymgadw rhag priodi? Na, fy merched; y mae'n llawer chwerwach i mi nag i chwi am fod llaw yr ARGLWYDD yn f'erbyn i."

¹³would ye therefore tarry till they were grown? would ye therefore stay from having husbands? nay, my daughters, for it grieveth me much for your sakes, for the hand of Jehovah is gone forth against me.

¹⁴ Wylodd y ddwy yn uchel eto; yna ffarweliodd Orpa �'i mam-yng-nghyfraith, ond glynodd Ruth wrthi.

¹⁴And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave unto her.

¹⁵ A dywedodd Naomi, "Edrych, y mae dy chwaer-yng-nghyfraith wedi mynd yn �l at ei phobl a'i duw; dychwel dithau ar ei h�l."

¹⁵And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is gone back unto her people, and unto her god: return thou after thy sister-in-law.

¹⁶ Ond meddai Ruth, "Paid �'m hannog i'th adael, na throi'n �l oddi wrthyt, oherwydd i ble bynnag yr ei di, fe af finnau; ac ym mhle bynnag y byddi di'n aros, fe arhosaf finnau; dy bobl di fydd fy mhobl i, a'th Dduw di fy Nuw innau.

¹⁶And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee, for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God;

¹⁷ Lle y byddi di farw, y byddaf finnau farw ac yno y'm cleddir. Fel hyn y gwnelo'r ARGLWYDD i mi, a rhagor, os bydd unrhyw beth ond angau yn ein gwahanu ni."

¹⁷where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me.

¹⁸ Gwelodd Naomi ei bod yn benderfynol o fynd gyda hi, ac fe beidiodd �'i hannog rhagor.

¹⁸And when she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking unto her.

¹⁹ Aeth y ddwy ymlaen nes dod i Fethlehem; ac wedi iddynt gyrraedd, bu cyffro trwy'r holl dref o'u plegid, a'r merched yn gofyn, "Ai Naomi yw hon?"

¹⁹So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and [the women] said, Is this Naomi?

²⁰ Dywedodd hithau wrthynt, "Peidiwch �'m galw'n Naomi, galwch fi'n Mara; oherwydd bu'r Hollalluog yn chwerw iawn wrthyf.

²⁰And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara; for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.

²¹ Yr oeddwn yn llawn wrth fynd allan, ond daeth yr ARGLWYDD � mi'n �l yn wag. Pam y galwch fi'n Naomi, a'r ARGLWYDD wedi tystio i'm herbyn, a'r Hollalluog wedi dod � drwg arnaf?"

²¹I went out full, and Jehovah hath brought me home again empty; why call ye me Naomi, seeing Jehovah hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?

²² Fel hyn y dychwelodd Naomi o wlad Moab, a'i merch-yng-nghyfraith, Ruth y Foabes, gyda hi. Daethant i Fethlehem yn nechrau'r cynhaeaf haidd.

²²So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
